Looking good and you do look better than tupperware lol. I glued my knee ammo belt to stop it moving I think most do the same. I manage to armor up on my own, after a few goes it gets easier, I pack everything back into my suitcase and just at random times I pull it all out and try suiting up again.
My calves I just put a loop of elastic through the front boot strap, then attached a snap, then put a snap plate inside the front of the shin, this keeps mine down and stops them moving up or sideways.
Won't be long until you send in some approval photo's, keep up the good work
